    Any contemplation to be complete must start from the superset of everything, which is the universe. If universe is the superset of everything then it is redundant to talk about multiverses. That is just a conjecture, which contradicts the very concept of the universe.

    So the multiverses are just subsets of the universe.

    I will ignore the idea of multiverses for the moment and simply focus on the universe.

    What is the first thing that one can say about the universe? The universe is made up of our awareness and the projections that we make from that awareness. Beyond this universe is simply non-awareness. The non-awareness may be called “nothing” but it is simply something that we are not aware of.

    This is a universe of awareness and it is bounded by non-awareness.

    All that we can focus on is what we are aware of. And that awareness includes things that are out there that impinge on us as well as our own projections from those things that also impinge on us.

    Our projections come from the impingements of what is out there. Then our projections impinge back on us and further projections come out of that. So, there is a fractal of impingements and projections. We don’t know how far back this fractal of impingements goes. Are those things that are impinging on us from our environment are also the result of our earlier projections? We don’t know.

    All that we know is that there is a back and forth of impingements and projections.

    And that constitutes our awareness.

    We are then making categorizations of what impinges on us. The first categorization that we make is that of material and spiritual.

    The material is the product of our physical senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. The spiritual is the product of our mental sense, which is basically made up of our projections.

    We confirm our mental sense by comparing it to our physical senses.

    When they compare as consistent we feel certain.

      Spiritual and physical is how we categorize this universe. The universe is what it is. It is not divided into a spiritual universe and a physical universe. There is no spiritual universe that generates a physical universe; there is no physical universe that generates a spiritual universe.

      Spiritual and physical are simply two aspects that we assign to this universe.

    The physical perceptions have a lot of inertia. They do not change much. But the mental projections have comparatively little inertia.

    Physical inertia may be divided into particle-mass variety, and the wave-frequency variety. Mental inertia may be divided between inertia of thinking with ideas (ego), and the inertia involved in simple looking (spirit). So we have particle and wave on the physical side; and ego and spirit on the mental side.

    The universe is made up of the following varieties of inertia:
    (1) Particle-mass
    (2) Wave-frequency
    (3) Ego-ideas, and
    (4) Spirit-looking

    Enlightenment shall be the state of no inertia.

    Physical seems to be the impingement that comes in. Mental seems to be the projection that goes out.
